later agreed by vote ot of those present that in as much as it had been definitely defina tely decided that the utah idaho sugar company will erect the factory the farmers would prefer to sign up on their regular contracts which means that all who have halve signed the salt lake security trust contracts will be visited by representatives of the utah idaho sugar company and given an opportunity to sign the other contract mr air cannon urged the people of the east side generally to get out and work just as liard hard to get the acreage under tile the new arrangement as they had exhibited a willingness to do under the plan ills his company proposed lie ile stated that a sugar factory was the end desired not who should build it and so far as he and his company were vere concerned they would get behind the butali idaho sugar company andrack and back it up in this matter the question of where the factory fac i tory will be located was mentioned but each speaker declared that no site had as yet been decided upon neither would it do any good for communities muni ties to get out petitions and offer inducements that matter will have to be left entirely with the sugar company for there are certain things which have to be taken into consideration in selecting a site for a factory the value of which can only be determined by the sugar company itself the farmers were urged to raise the beets and no matter where tile factory Is located it will be a blessing to the entire cast side the officials of the amalgamated sugar company took no part in the discussion and hence their attitude was not learned with respect to the stated intention of the utah idaho sugar co to canvass for be beefs cis from willard wallard Wll lard perry brigham and part of calls fort for which Is now territory of the 6 daden gd en company C the working agreement of the two concerns will doubtless take care of that and the matter will be so adjusted that no f friction will result the question was asked the salt lake security trust company as to terms and price at which they intend to sell water rights under the ham moud canal as many tanners farmers expressed a desire to have this information in reply we are informed that the price pr ce until the airl 1 of december of year will be the same heretofore charged namely where the water is sold on annual installments and per aero acre where the

cash we feel that the people of brigham city and of the east side of the dear bear river valley are to bo be congratulated uon the sugar factory insured at the meeting at Harle harleyville the box elder news takes to itself credit for having always boosted for such a factory and having by every means in its power encouraged the farmers and business men to take the necessary steps to insure same but while we desire to give all full credit for that which las been done we feel that justice de fiands that we attribute tile the initial movement recently inaugurated to mr george M cannon cashier of the salt lake security trust company mr cannon in company with other officials of the company visited brigham city on business connected with the hammond ammond II canal in september and was approached at that time by some of the farmers and asked to take the matter up wit 11 the board of directors of 0 the salt lake security fe trust company and organize a company to build such a factory from the first mr air cannon encouraged all who took this attitude by saying that ills his company would unquestionably be willing tn undertake this task if it could be shown to be the wish of the people of box elder county we feel that the directors of the salt lake security trust company are also to congratulated for the hearty manner in which they encouraged continuation of the farmers efforts at the directors meeting in november the board of directors gave mr cannon full authority to take the necessary steps to insure a sugar factory mr cannon assured the commercial club and the citizens generally he met at the commercial club on thanksgiving evening that his company was prepared to see that a factory Is built provided the farmers at once sign up contracts for acres of beets it was this unfaltering faltering attitude anthe part of the 4 salt lake security trust company com pany which determined tle the idalio idaho su gar company to agree to build the factory during the year 1916 we deelta feel to congratulate all who have aalten part and are satisfied that the factory will prove the boon to box elder county which we have always claimed |
